Make sure you get #1 cylinder to top dead center on the compression stroke. Remove #1 plug and place your thumb over the hole bump starter til your thumb is pushed off. Then turn engine by hand the 1-2 inches one way or the other to line up the BB timing mark. See where the rotor is pointing and start your wiring from that point on the cap. Sounds like you might be 180* off. As Jerry said use gas not starting fluid. Starting fluid will wash down the cylinder walls and you will lose compression.😎
